The online content needs to be protected as ruthlessly as its offline counterpart.

Perhaps a similar plug-in like the WP-CopyProtect one, which locks both full text and images (so that they can't be copied) in WordPress sites, can be used here in IF.

This solution like the "Read Only" make commenting difficult for readers who tend to quote portions of the updates in their comments.


I second your suggestion!

And i do agree that IF needs to step up on measure to protect story writers.

Not able to copy paste any words is important. No right click options for the pages where updates are posted like NO Copy for multiple posts, writers updating post shouldnt have Quote option too. If not, they can quote and copy paste them.

Please act fast before more writers leave this site!!

Sorry Sandy didn't mean to do multiple posts, but I just have to say one more thing (for the moment). I hope the powers-that-be of India Forum (IF) is reading our concern for all writers.

When India Forum does a photo or a video, don't you guys put your logo on every single piece of your craft and protect your work. Does that not show how much you want to protect your intellectual property? Why not afford the same courtesy and recognition to these writers. They are your writers too.


There are so many places these wonderful writers can showcase their work. And they choose you. You should be honored IF and show your recognition by making sure all authors are protected. You should make this place a safe haven and not a pirate ship for those who believe in you.


Do take this petition positively IF and show us your support.

I agree with you Sandhya. You have listed very good suggestions. We need more security so that story can not be copied.

But It is not enough. There should be a way to sue and humiliate the person who did this. Just closing the blog of the thief is not enough. They will create another blog and post the story again.

As a good friend said yesterday, putting our work on IF is like playing Russian Roulette with it. And that's a pretty sad, but factual, statement.

Putting our stories online carries a certain risk, I am aware of that. But we don't have to make it easy for the thieves. There is a 'No Copy' option available to the writers on the first page of a post, would it be that hard to extend that to the rest of the pages? Or the policy of not immediately banning a person who blatantly lifts a story, and their IP address as a whole. Currently, only their warning levels are raised, and from what I've seen in the past, that means absolutely nothing in terms of a punishment.

IF has been the starting ground for many authors, but if you notice, none of them last too long on here because of this exact reason. If you value the content creators on this site even a little, please take the necessary actions to make their lives a bit more pleasant.

Amazing post sandhya 👏
Every other day one of the writers are becoming victims of this plagiarism on the forum..
Hope mods of IF will take this issue seriously and find out a way to stop this... and many of the members have suggested different ways to protect the intellectual property of the writers. .. plzz do consider them and create a safe environment for the writers to post their work...
And i request the mods to take a serious action against those who does this heinous crime. ..

I'm with all my beloved writers in this dear 😊

I completely second this. And, it is sad that such issues are so commonplace & yet, IF refuses to wake up & do something to protect the content. A No Copy option that can be activated by the writer at will, on any post they make is necessary, now. So many instances. And, it is unfair to the person whose intellectual property of sorts has been stolen, & the readers who are left in the lurch by disappointed writers who stop writing of move their content to protected blogs, etc. High time something is done about this.

Completely agree with each and every word of this post/request. A "NO COPY addition on each update by us would definitely help.
